I feel we are not but….

Fascinating and fun idea, but I don't see how it could actually be falsifiable. Because of that, I think it has to remain a great idea for fiction and philosophical arguments!

I went to the London Stadium to see the Hammers play Chelsea last season. I could swear it was a simulation of a London derby but certainy wasn't the real thing. The only think that was real was the £200 hole in my pocket aferwards (taking all expenses such as transport, pints and jalfrezi afterwards into account....).

There's always some one off worse than you. Think of the millions of £££££ Chelsea has wasted during the last summer transfer window!

Chelsea are a football club simulation. They are currently scoring a 9.7 on the PP (Peak Plastic) scale. Only Man City with a score of 9.5 are even in the same league.

And are the entities running this supposed simulation also in their own simulation?

Pretty sure mines broken...

No -gL!tcH- we are not.

It might be only a simulation but...COYG!

[Svensson]

thank god it was nothing but a simulation..... Dreadful. I would have loved to hear what Messrs Lawro and Hansen would have to say about the Hammers' attempts at defending. But hey, we canlt have everything,

Now excuse me everyone, I need to rejoin my AI-generated debate between Christoper Hitchens and Jesus Christ. They're about to come to the funny part...

We're not in a simulation and Derek Draper truly did die from long covid and the Easter Bunny is coming in three weeks so look sharp.

If we were in a simulation, my friend Blair would have found the sploits by now.

Jung - for all his flaws - said “we are in an artifice - we live in the culture of the fashions that triumphed” RD Laing posited that modern clothing, material and ideological structures were the true, insectiod “madness”, that it was “mad to be normal” and that “lust, murder, introversion and mania are the most sane responses to some of the things human minds are expected to cope with”.
